Where have you been?
Last month we started a new feature which involves the Camber Community Newsletter travelling around the globe, spreading news of our amazing village and beach! In August, CCN made its way to Scotland.
More Northern Lights
In the middle of May, the famous Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, were visible across many parts of the country, including Camber! Usually only visible from Scandinavia, Alaska, Canada and Russia, the lights can occasionally be seen in the UK.
BT’s Big Switch
BT plans to switch all landline phones to digital phones. Originally the Big Switch was scheduled for the end of 2025 but has been delayed.
Superstitions – October 2024
Over the last seven years, the newsletter’s This ‘n’ That articles have been about many, many topics and are always interesting, educational and well researched. A good number of the topics covered introduce us to reasons why things are as they are, and very often it is due to folklore, myths, legends, traditions… and superstition.
Another Beach!
On 9th September, 33 Camber residents set out for a day-trip to Deal in Kent. Passengers arrived at Deal to find the weather was not as bad as had been forecast. They were expecting rain but, luckily, it stayed dry all day.
An End of an Era
Some may say, in mythological terms, that everything comes to a head at the point of a full moon – good or bad – and so we wonder if the final closing date for our local NISA shop falling on the same day as a full moon was, in fact, coincidence.
So, What Did You Find on the Beach Today??
Twenty years ago, on Sunday 12th September, Camber residents awoke to find possibly the largest piece of “beach debris” they had ever seen on our shores! 1175 tons of cargo coaster – the Indian registered Maanav Star!
NHW and CSW
These acronyms may or may not mean anything to you at the moment. However, Camber Parish Council is hoping these will soon be familiar to each and every one of us.
Autumn Bingo!
The September weather turned out to be much better than in August so perhaps we should have called our September Prize Bingo Night ‘Summer Bingo’ instead of ‘Autumn Bingo’! On what had been a beautiful, hot, sunny day, the crowds arrived to play the game.
